The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 257 Calm down

The enemy had no intention of letting Sarutobi Hiruzen take command easily. Yatagarasu continued to drop explosive eggs to disrupt the Anbu's formation, while Shurado launched an attack. Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's astonished eyes, Shurado Pain tore off his wrist, and then the wrist spewed flames towards him.

This

Sarutobi Hiruzen swung the Vajra Ruyi Stick and smashed it hard at the flying wrist. The collision made a loud sound of metal clashing, and the wrist flew back and reconnected to Shurado's arm.

Although he repelled the enemy's attack, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not feeling well either. He felt a strong force coming from the diamond stick in his hand, and he involuntarily took two and a half steps back.

And this was just one of the enemies taking action. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt something was wrong. Seeing that there were so many enemies, he decided to use ninjutsu to attack.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet"

Three raging fire dragons flew through the air, charging towards Shura, Animal, Hungry Ghost, and Konan. Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the fire dragons about to encircle them, but suddenly he saw the enemy who had blocked the Water Severing Wave Technique before reappear.

He just spread out his hands, and the three fire dragons that were nearly ten meters high came in front of him and then quickly shrank, and soon completely disappeared in his palms!

The ability to absorb ninjutsu chakra?

Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed in his mind, and then he swung the Ruyi Diamond Rod and hit him. This time, the opponent did not stand and absorb it, but directly avoided it.

This undoubtedly confirmed Sarutobi Hiruzen's guess, and he instantly became certain that this was indeed the case. To deal with this kind of enemy, he had to rely on physical skills.

Seizing the enemy's weakness, Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding the Ruyi Diamond Rod, wanted to pursue, but at this moment, a sky full of shurikens flew towards him, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to stop and defend. When intercepting, Sarutobi Hiruzen found that although those shurikens were made of paper, they were as sharp as knives. Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to defend himself, but the Anbu behind him fell instantly.

"asshole!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to fight back with bloodshot eyes, when he saw several missiles approaching rapidly from the corner of his eye. The information he had seen before instantly flooded into his mind, and Sarutobi Hiruzen dodged.

bang

Five missiles fell on the place where Sarutobi Hiruzen was originally standing, and a violent explosion occurred instantly. The area within a radius of nearly 100 meters became a ruin. The Anbu who were dealing with the summoned beasts and some civilian ninjas who surrounded them fell again.

"Water Escape: Great Waterfall Technique"

After dodging, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gathered his chakra and performed water jutsu. A huge ball of water spewed out of his mouth, which not only extinguished the flames along the way but also stopped the giant dog rushing towards him.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique"

Sarutobi Hiruzen unleashed a massive shuriken and flung it into the air. As if replicating, tens of thousands of shurikens appeared in the air, raining down like a blanket. These vicious shurikens not only covered the Akatsuki members, but even the Yatagarasu in the air were caught in the endless stream of shurikens.

The enemy's bizarre attack style left Sarutobi Hiruzen feeling rather flustered. He needed to at least stop the enemy's combo before he could counterattack. That was why he chose to use this area-of-effect ninjutsu. He had another idea in mind. Since that strange enemy could absorb ninjutsu, he could unleash a large, concentrated attack of ninjutsu, hoping he wouldn't be able to absorb it in time.

Unfortunately, the enemy's prowess exceeded Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations. The shuriken clones vanished before they even got close, and the few that managed to escape were intercepted and crushed by the dancing white shuriken. Meanwhile, the enemy launched another bizarre attack. The head of one of the opponents suddenly opened like a book, revealing a smooth, rounded structure. Then, an immense radiance condensed from his head into a pillar, charging straight at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Earth Escape. Earth Flow Wall"

Sarutobi Hiruzen concentrated his chakra and pressed his hands against the ground, instantly sending three solid walls, each half a meter thick, rising from the ground. However, these seemingly solid walls were extremely fragile in the presence of the beam of light, and were pierced through in the blink of an eye.

Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed something was wrong as soon as the first wall was broken, and without a word, he jumped away to avoid it. However, the ANBU ninjas fighting behind him were not so alert, and several of them were directly pierced through the chest by the beam of light.

Rumble

The beam of light penetrated the dark area and then penetrated a large number of houses before disappearing. The houses collapsed and smoke and dust suddenly rose around them.

The situation of being almost passively beaten made Sarutobi Hiruzen angry and anxious, and the Anbu around him were constantly struggling with paper pieces or summoned beasts and were of no help at all. He could only think hard about how to defeat the enemy.

But the enemy showed no intention of relaxing. Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could think of a way to change the unfavorable situation, the enemy used a new trick.

I saw that the enemy who had launched the missile before had grown a mechanical arm on his shoulder. The arm quickly changed into the shape of a cannon barrel, and then far more powerful chakra than before gathered at the mouth of the barrel, and a more rapid and terrifying beam of light was fired out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already sensed something was wrong when he attacked the enemy's chakra. This attack made him feel that he was defenseless. He wanted to use ninjutsu to interrupt the enemy, but it was too late. The terrifying light cannon shot towards him.

"Looking at you, Ape Demon!"

The attack was too fast and Sarutobi Hiruzen had no time to dodge. He could only raise the Ruyi Vajra Stick and smash it hard at the light cannon.

The diamond rod and the light cannon collided, and the dazzling white light flashed across the entire field. The surrounding area was engulfed in the strong light and it was impossible to see anything.

When the light faded, the surrounding houses disappeared, as if they were easily wiped out like a child's building blocks, leaving behind an empty area.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands were covered in blood, and he was gasping for breath on the edge. As for the Ruyi Vajra Staff, it was severely damaged in the previous collision and immediately disappeared in white smoke with a scream.

Disappearing along with Enma was Sarutobi Hiruzen's recently rekindled fighting spirit. Seeing that the enemy was too difficult to deal with, he no longer had the courage to go into battle himself. He decided to wait until the Konoha ninjas grew up enough and then surrounded and killed them.

The stinging sensation in his hand sobered Sarutobi Hiruzen up and he quickly retreated to the back of the Anbu team, facing the giant dog that was constantly splitting apart.

"I also know some sealing techniques. Leave this to me. Go and surround and eliminate those enemies. Come on!"

"This is the so-called strongest Hokage. Is this the extent of your strength and courage?!"

Hungry Ghost Path Pain looked at the disheveled Sarutobi Hiruzen and said disdainfully: "How can such strength support you to invade other countries? Forget it, wait until I investigate clearly. If others can't find the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails' helpers, then I will come to find you again."

After a few sarcastic remarks, the people on the scene suddenly disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only an avatar that was obviously made of paper and several giant psychic beasts that were wreaking havoc.
